nursery rhyme CD suggestions

[lucyA1308]

Hello there,

I am looking for a jolly nursery rhyme CD that we can use for my daughter's 1st birthday, and maybe for car journeys. We do a lot of singing in our house, and have an older daughter too, so I am looking for something more than just the normal incey wincey etc. Something quite lively and bubbly, that the little ones can have a bit of a bop to.

She loves to dance, and so I am wanting something a bit fun and different to what I can do just singing myself.

if anyone has any good suggestions, that would be great.

Thanks.

The Monkey Music cd's are great. They've got us up and down to Scotland and back and forth to Cornwall......all the way!

Also have a Party Songs one that we got in Mothercare that goes down well.

Lots of them are best for your sanity if you're going far.

Try Elizabeth Mitchell for car journeys

Very melodic folky songs to sing along to

http://www.keepingthebeat.co.uk/ these CDs have been a firm favourite with my reception and nursery classes for the past few years, my 16 month old really enjoys them too. We love the Boppin Bunnies albums too (I got both of mine on iTunes)

not nursery rhymes as such but some great old favs http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hello-Children-Everywhere-Various-Artists/dp/B00030B9K2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352713661&sr=8-1

We like the Rainbow Collections CDs, traditional songs with interesting arrangements and sung by Sophie Barker (the singer from Zero 7). Eg on the 'Toybox' CD there's a calypso version of 'If you're happy and you know it' which I really like, plus a fun country and western 'Old MacDonald'. Not annoying at all. There are also lullaby and Christmas CDs.

Hi, I've also got the Boppin' Bunnies CDs....www.boppinbunnies.co.uk.

They are a mixture of upbeat songs and lullabies and really nicely sung...not so nicely by me in the car (!) but my son can now join in to make it more fun.

I bought the Steeleye Span one we had when I was little. It is a bit 70s but in a wholesome way.

We like Laurie berkner (see victor Vito/we are the dinosaurs on YouTube for an idea), and don spencer (Australian kids songs, very infectious)...Not nursery rhymes though.
